they look similar, but i am by no means an expert. will i be able to move all the components from the 5552 to the 5551 board? thanks!

Yes I have dells that where able to switch motherboards too but there always a chance that dell may change small things that will ultimately torture you, it a gamble but I think they will work but really the price of board swapping is pricey unless the laptop is from 2009 and back. Because I wanted to convert my 17 in inspiron to an amd platform and the board almost cost 300 bucks
